Delaware Lane Splitting Accident Attorney

Dover Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle accidents can be very common on Delaware roads and highways when the weather is nice. Many Delawareans enjoy being out on the open road whether heading to the beach, the city or just out for a scenic ride. While it is always a good idea to make riding safely a priority it is not always the case. Aside from riding without a helmet one of the most dangerous riding behaviors to engage in is lane splitting. Lane splitting is when a motorcycle rides between two lanes, while passing in between vehicles on either side of the motorcycle. It is also known as lane sharing.

Delaware does not have a specific law against lane splitting. It is understood that it is an unsafe practice and all riders are expected to ride responsibly when in operation of any motor vehicle. Any accident that can be attributed to lane splitting can be considered comparative fault. Comparative fault means that the motorcyclist may be partly at fault and this judgment may impact recovery amount.
